Headlights are absolutely fitted to the 2018 Volvo XC60 and are central to its safety package. Technical sources including the Volvo XC60 Owner’s Manual (Model Year 2018, Lighting), Volvo’s VIDA service/parts catalogue, and lighting compliance standards (ECE R112/ADR 13/00) all specify LED headlamps with Volvo’s signature “Thor’s Hammer” daytime running lights, with options like Active Bending Lights, Automatic High Beam and headlight cleaning depending on trim. So, yes—headlights are very much relevant on this model.

On the road, the XC60’s headlights do two big jobs: help the driver see clearly at night and in poor weather, and make the vehicle highly visible to others. The crisp LED beam gives strong spread and colour consistency, while the DRLs boost daytime conspicuity. Where equipped, automatic high beam and bending functions lift night driving confidence on rural Kiwi and Aussie roads.

For ongoing care, a simple monthly check under the bonnet and around the front end goes a long way. Keep lenses clean, top up washer fluid if your car has headlight cleaners, and look for scuffs, chips or moisture. During regular servicing, a technician should scan for lighting fault codes in VIDA, verify beam aim, and confirm DRL, indicator and high-beam operation. Aiming is important—too low reduces reach
